Sorry for the long wait on the post but here are my roughs.

I choose this one cause I like how the colors contrasts with each other while keeping it simple enough to guide through and easy to fallow.

This one I wanted to to show my love for red without making look gaudy.

Hi Courtney,

I like the second design the best of the two. I think the monochromatic color choices work better than the primary colors of the first design. Some recommendations I would make: Make the spacing of the navigation equal distances, and think about taking out one or two of your fonts.

Hello Courtney,
I am really liking the second design. Like BreeAnn stated, I too think that the monochromatic color choice works better than the primary colors. I would suggest making your bio text center justified and move your 'about me' text and kitty picture to be centered with your text. I also think it would benefit you to only use two fonts. Great job so far and I can't wait to see more!

Hi Courtney:

I like both of your designs. I think the all red works great, but I am drawn more towards the purple/red one. My only suggestion, and this would be for both of your designs, would be to align & space out your nav buttons/links evenly. Maybe for the buttons, just make the buttons all the same size, and for the nav links, maybe a left justify.

Nice job!

Your avatar reminds me of the old Starblazers or Robotech animes I used to watch in the early 80's. I love it! :D

Hi Courtney,

I like both I do like the contrasting colors in the first one. How about making your buttons the purple color to throw a little color in with your red. I would make your buttons the same size and equally spaced. Some alignment issues with body copy and "about me". Justified on the body copy and center "about me" or make it flush to the left to line up with the type of the body.
